This year s winners include Sara Jaklic and Marija Jeglic; Lise Billon, Fanny Schmutz Tomasi, Maud Vanpoulle and Camille Marot; Nancy Hansen and Ralf Dujmovits; and a general grant to support female members of the Young Alpinist Team and the French National Female Alpine Team (ENAF).
British improv group The Noise Next Door will be trying to get audiences in splits as they bring their style of comedy similar to hit show ‘Whose Line is it?’ to Dubai over two nights.
Like in the improvisational comedy television show, the quartet will get suggestions from the audience and turn them into comedic scenes and songs at the drop of a hat.
The group made up of Matt Grant, Tom Livingstone, Sam Pacelli and Robin Hatcher appeared on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ in 2020 to showcase their unique brand of humour and got a roaring reaction.
They have sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 11 times and have appeared on numerous TV shows in the UK.
